Language Reform

Language reform refers to efforts aimed at improving or changing a language to make it more accessible, inclusive, or relevant to contemporary society. This can include updating grammar, simplifying spelling, removing outdated terms, or promoting gender-neutral language. Such reforms often reflect social changes, cultural values, and technological advancements, and can be driven by linguists, educators, or activists. The goal is to enhance communication, ensure cultural sensitivity, and adapt the language to better suit the needs of its speakers. Examples include changes in the use of pronouns or the promotion of simplified language in education.
